How can I create a mosaic of the sun on a Mac

Hi all,
A kind soul has shared some images with me so I can have a bash at a mosaic.
I don't have photoshop so can't use photo merge. I usually process by running AS!2 and ImPGG with WINE and then tweak images in GIMP and Mac photos app. What do Mac owning Solarchat friends use?
Help very gratefully received,
Nic

Good question. I now have a Mac but don’t now how to do mosaics.

Does MS ICE work on Macs?

I align in ImPPG then use pixinsight (gradientmergemosaic).

I use registax on the windows computer in the dome: align, stack, wavelets, export as 16 bit tiff.
Then bring the images over to the Mac and use Affinity Photo for the rest: make new panorama, rotate, crop, unsharp mask, curves, colours, brightness, export as jpg.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve since noticed that Stuart seems to use MS ICE and I think he’s on a Mac so I’ll give it a try!

I’m not familiar with pix insight so if it’ll work on a Mac that’d be great. I’ll try.
Thanks for the suggestion.
